Eckoh plc (AIM:ECK), the global provider of secure payment products and customer contact solutions, today announces that it has issued 40,000 new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (the "New Ordinary Shares"), following an exercise of share options by employees.

The options being exercised were granted under the 2017 Eckoh plc Performance Share Plan and the number of New Ordinary Shares that ultimately vested was subject to a Total Shareholder Return performance condition, measured over a 3-year performance period.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, with dealings expected to commence on 24 August 2022 ("Admission").

Following Admission, the Company will have a total of 292,909,261 ordinary shares of 0.25p each ("Ordinary Shares") in issue. The number of Ordinary Shares held in treasury is 1,943,311 and, as a result, the Ordinary Shares in issue carrying voting rights will be 290,965,950. Shareholders may use this figure of 290,965,950 Ordinary Shares as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
